celtics on suicide watch edition
*Jalen's son
Winner of the 1st round: Denver Nuggets
knicks
will there be a draymond green this year?
Im here, you can relax
>>68863403
76ers cucked Bill simmons
>Boston traded Deyonta Davis and their 35th pick for a future Memphis first rounder.
Kill me
>>68863419
I really laughed
RIP TWIGMAN AND HOPES OF CHINA
>Trading for a late 1st round pick next year
What the FUCK is Ainge doing?
>Ryan Bernardoni @dangercart 5m5 minutes ago
>Clips pick the Celtics are getting is 1-14 protected in 2019, 1-14 in 2020, converts to a 2022 2nd after that. Low upside and distant...
im tying the noose right now
Losers of the first round: Sacramento Kings
Who /bendsforbender/ here?
is there a restriction on the number of foreign players each team can have?
Is Mark Tatum a jew?
TYBH
is there anything more JUST than being the first guy in the second round???
>>68863461
I dont think so
>>68863465
He looks part asian
Is he the next elite pg?
>>68863465
He looks like a Pacific Islander
>>68863437
>Ainge finally makes a good pick
>immediately fucks it up
>>68863461
No. There was a joke that the Celtics would just draft all international players and tell them to stay overseas because there are only 15 roster spots and they have 8 picks in this one draft when you normally get 2.
JUST
>>68863454
>Losers of life: Sacramento Kings
fixed
60 wins next season? I think so
>>68863450
Cloppers are on the verge of collapse. One of their big 3 is going to be moved and CP3 is probably leaving soon. Once that happens, they'll stop being able to coast on the success of basketball reasons and go back to being a bottom feeder.
Great move for Memphis. That 2019 clips pick will be 16 at best. these early seconds are great value picks.
>>68863498
stop
HOLY SHIT HES SO SAD LOL
>>68863500
Ballmer will probably move them to Seattle once they lose CP3
Davis wants to die lmao
What did he mean by this?
>>68863496
>1 pick away from guaranteed millions
That must suck.
>Draft player with highest potential in draft
>Draft next Paul Millsap
>Draft best C prospect
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA STAY MAD /NBA/
>MFW JOSH JACKSON IS DRAFTED TO A 55 WIN TEAM NEXT YEAR
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
WE CANT LOSE
Ainge is a fucking idiot.
>>68863496
If he dropped at 31 and got flipped over for another draft pick then he's almost a bust.
>>68863500
Lol, they have too many assets to collapse by 2019. Come on.
this dude sound depressed af
>Lakers
Kek
>>68863500
the pick is lottery protected
Dude look so mad
And since when were there so many damn croatians in the NBA?
its a good gamble for memphis
>>68863499
> a player that makes you worse makes you better
Knicks fans
>>68863530
They only have 3 assets: CP3, Griffin, and Jordan.
>Zubaz
god I love the asian man with a black voice
Cue the Gaymond tweet @ Deyonta Davis...
>>68863526
>The five stages, denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance are a part of the framework that makes up our learning to live with the one we lost. They are tools to help us frame and identify what we may be feeling.
sup nigs, as an outside fan, who should I be looking out for from this draft? I'm not a fan, but I enjoy a good apehoop game every now and then.
>Sources: New Orleans trading to get the No. 33 pick from the Clippers, sending Clippers No. 39 and 40.
DIAMOND STONE WHEN??
>>68863538
They obviously can't bottom out in a year, but they can get to 15ish if they lose CP3 or Blake
What's up fellers?
why are we watching this?
>deyonta davis
>>68863580
To see the next Isaiah Thomas
>Chinanu Onuaku S T I L L not drafted
this has gone beyond power nap levels of sleeping on him
Cheik em
>Spurs somehow win a draft with only 4 good players despite picking 32nd
THEY CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT
>>68863580
To laugh at the Celtics.
Also its the last time we can talk to each other until the Olympics.
>>68863580
Nothing better to do and nothing else on
Also I wanna see how much more the Celtics can fuck up
Who will draft Isiah Cousins, bros?
I never pay attention to this part. Oklahoma City coming out of this OK?

SOMEONE DRAFT GARINO GOD DAMN

>>68863591

>>68863605
That too.
When does that start again?
SUNS KILLING DRAFT
ISIAH THOMAS 2.0
>>68863614
>>68863614
Loooooolll
>>68863403
So, looks like Chicago got another injury-prone phenom. Sure, he almost puts up a triple-double every game in his senior year, but this dude has glass knees. Will he stay healthy, and will Butler-Valentine be the next dynamic duo of the East?
Why didn't Spurs pick Tyler Ulis
lmao chingchong chinaboy isn't gonna get picked
>>68863614
srs who cares its the second round
>>68863632
july 1st
>drafting literally the exact guy you traded away over a year ago
classic suns
>>68863643
Murray better
>>68863614
Not an NBA fan. Just dropping in. Can someone tell me what the Celtics did that was so bad?
>>68863299
worst to best
1. kwame brown '01
2. anthony bennett '13
3. andrea bargnani '06
4. greg oden '07 (was good when he was on the floor tbf)
POWER GAP
5. andrew wiggins '14

14. dwight howard '04
15. lebron james '03
>>68863605
Nothing happens on free agency and if it does it takes days and weeks.
>>68863643
Murray is better and isn't a manlet
>>68863664
They had 8 picks and were planning on trading them for a star player. No other team wanted to trade so they kept the picks and just drafted a bunch of random unproven european players, some of whom might not even come to the NBA.
>>68863664
Nothing desu
They just ignored most draft boards out there
>>68863667
>KAT that low
>>68863685
Nice
is he an elite point guard?
>>68863667
Kwame Brown might be shit but he's still better than Bennett. Bennett should have been a late 1st rounder at best but Cavs decided to go full retard.
2nd round, time for the American's that actually played on contending NCAA teams to get drafted
who did the knicks get??
What did he mean by this?
>>68863667
are you fucking kidding?
bennett has been way worse than kawame. kawame actually has done shit.
lol KAT will MOVE UP TO 14
>>68863675
I think the rumors are worth something this year and when it happens it will really happen. I will enjoy listening to radio down here. they have good sources down here
>Houston will select Chinanu Onaku
wtf is with niggers naming their children man
>Draft a power forward
>Trade for a better power forward, who could just leave next year
>When your current power forward is you most exciting player already
I don't know what's going on. At least Oladipo AND Vucevic weren't moved, as they are the offense. But Vuc could be moved too later on.
>>68863618
durant
>>68863701
no picks
>>68863614
depressing
>>68863403
>celtics
>suicide watch
can someone explain to me wtf was the point with that lakers pick???
>>68863706
>>68863688
its been 1 year he will be lower for sure, but right now theres not much to rate him on besides conjecture
>>68863629
Wizard
>>68863629
hey I was right
>>68863667
Bennett was worse than Brown. Brown at least stayed in the NBA for more than 2 years
>>68863723
What do you mean? That was a great pick regardless of whether hes stash or not
They need a 7 footer who isnt sacre
>>68863707
>Chinanu Onaku
He sounds like he might actually be from Africa. That name is probably completely normal for his nation/tribe.
>>68863724
Just saying, KAT's rookie year was better than AD's.
>Ainge promises Stevens that he isn't going to have to develop a bunch of rookies next season
>signs extension
>drafts 2 "potential" talents, 1 draft and stash, and trades away a player of need
Anyone else feel bad for Based Brad?
>>68863664
They had 8 picks. Which is a lot. The grand plan was to use these picks in trades in order to add a bonafide star to their team. They apparently failed to complete trades for superstars this week, were forced to make their picks, and picked players that were not as coveted as players drafted later. Some of their picks may be good, but for where their team is right now, they need guys who can improve them immediately, not help 3 years away. That their GM is constantly being hailed as a genius by their fans, there is a lot of schadenfreude
>>68863707
With a name like that you have to be an athlete. That's why
>>68863708
This allows them to be buyers in next years free agent market
Orlando seems like a nice safe place to live
I'm a bit late, who did the Knicks pick?
>>68863754
>Jimmy Butler
>Nerlens Noel
>bonafide star
>>68863768
As long as you aren't Jason Collins I'm sure it is
>>68863754
>celtics are literally the youngest team in the nba
>oldest player next year will be Isaiah Thomas who is 27
>they're in win now mode
kys faggot
>>68863707
this nigger actually sounds like he's from Africa. Not Chinanu Jefferson or some shit then I'd agree with you, nigger anon.
> Ainge knows
>>68863768
no one wants to to orlando because their front office is shit
Tyler Ulis, and Devin Booker reunited. The suns absolutely killed this shit
>>68863747
just saying, pic related's rookie year was better than paul george
that means hes objectively better right?
>>68863795
Paul George went first?
>>68863774
That you don't think butler is sort of invalidates your opinion on basketball
>>68863793
Soon
bill simmons and the celtics can suck the biggest bag of dicks on planet earth
>m..m..m...m...muh leverage
>m..muh avery bradley is untouchable
>b..but jae crowder is really good y..you sure you don't want to g..give us a superstar for him straight up???
AHAHAHAHA FUCKING FAGGOTS ENJOY WATCHING YOUR MIDDLING LOSERS GET ELIMINATED IN THE FIRST ROUND AGAIN
>>68863664
They have been stockpiling picks and young players in hopes to have some good young guys and assets. However, no one wanted the picks. Last draft they tried to trade nine picks just to land Justise Winslow couldn't even do that so they drafted a bunch of guards
>>68863754
>for where their team is right now, they need guys who can improve them immediately
because their window is closing?
>>68863793
They'll find a way to fuck up. They always do
So many fucking international players taken this draft.
>>68863403
I like Bill, but he can be wrong sometimes
I'm a Mavs fan
Will they ever be good again? Or do I forever have to live with Cuban dicking this team
>>68863793
How much longer until Kings trade WCS to them?
Tonight the Celtics fucked up and prevented themselves from winning a championship in the next five years.
>Naming your child Diamond Stone
>>68863785
>tfw black
>tfw don't have a cool name like DeAndre or Tyrone
JUST
>>68863768
I was there for the summer at a resort.
It was pretty nice. Hot as fuck in summer, went out barefoot, huge mistake. Pools were warm.
One was cold.
It was ok.
>>68863825
>naming your son diamond stone
I missed the entire draft so far. What all did I miss?
>play draft kings in real life
>still lose
HOW
>>68863805
>missing the point
all im saying is one year doesn't mean shit, esp when its your rookie year. I don't disagree that Towns will probably be great, but thats not a certainty at this point
>>68863822
Maybe when Dirk is done playing they can start the downswing, that might be the first step to an upswing?
>>68863825
out of all first names why pick one that not only is feminine but is a fucking stone
>>68863847
Celtics lost
Suns won
everyone else did what they were supposed to for the most part

>>68863847

>>68863847
Phoenix, indy, Philly, okc killed it. Boston fugged everything up and Sacramento got ripped off
>>68863855
I actually misread the original question. I thought it was asking the best picks for #1, not best players, my bad
>>68863867
Just because a few strippers and hookers use it doesn't mean it's fem... No you're right what were they thinking
>>68863847

Kangz fucking up

Lakers have agreed to bring Croatia Ivica Zubac over next year, sources tell me. Will be on their roster.
Goodbye, Sacre

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch?
This is the year that International players have caught up with the American players. It is great to see all this diversity. /POL/ can suck a dick
>>68863847
Celtics killed their championship hopes
Phoenix and Philly killed it
Spurs made a good pick
>>68863875

>>68863824
>implying Jimmy Butler or Nerlens Noel will get them past Lebron
>>68863806
He is a #2 or #3 guy at best, certainly not a bonafide star. Even if the Celtics pay a king's ransom to acquire him they would need fill the gaps through free agency and they're not a lucrative free agent town.
Kevin Durant won't come over just because Jimmy Butler is there.
>>68863910
ive heard he tracks his man masterfully
>>68863909
Had a million picks
Couldn't get anybody to give them anything for them
Spent them on a reach and a bunch of yuros
>Isaiah Whitehead
>is black
>>68863927
Replacing Yao? Perfect.
>>68863897
Nets will be atrocious. That one retarded Russian fuck single handedly ensured ainge job security for fifteen years.
>>68863847
right now it looks like the celtics imploded
Rockets trying too hard to recreate
>>68863909
They reached hard, couldn't get a deal done for the 3rd overall pick. They won't have this high of a draft pick for a while, they fugged up
>>68863910
underrated post
Giannis
Middleton
Parker
Maker
Henson
pls make this the lineup kidd
>>68863934
maybe he gets whiteheads instead of blackheads
>>68863909
They didn't overpay for Butler
>>68863929
Lebron now? No. Lebron once his age starts to show and/or he goes to LA? Yes.
ZHUCCI MANE
>>68863945
>They won't have this high of a draft pick for a while, they fugged up
The Nets will be in full tank mode for the next 5 years and the Celtics still have two more unprotected first round picks from them.
CHING CHONG CARRYING ON THE LEGACY OF ROCKET GREAT YAO MING
ZHOU QI AND HARDEN
THE NEXT YAO MING AND T-MAC
>Drafting a skelly
saw that coming
> Literally Ching Chong
>>68863965
The Celtics have the nets picks? Why the fucj would u rebuild if you are the nets
>drafting a ching chong
>>68863970
Great, can't wait to see them eliminated in the 1st round every year
>Zhou Qi
Means the Rockets can keep their shitty Chinese pandering design
>>68863979
Chinese government has 1 year to stuff him up with the finest roids the world has to offer
YAO MING PART 2????????
>>68863982
the rockets have a huge chinese fanbase all because of yao
#1 reason they got ching chong jeremy rin a couple of years ago
>>68863929
you're clueless m8 just stop
Who will pick Isiah Cousins, the next Westbrook
>7 ft 6.5 inch wingspan
fuck is that even real?
>>68863979
Worked for OKC
>>68863907
"Caught up with" or "can be stashed overseas and effectively increase your roster size"
Also, OF COURSE the rockets pick a marketing meme to solidify their Chinese fanbase. Pick probably makes them $10 million profit the minute they bring him over.
>>68863963
Lebron is going to rule over the east for at least the next 3 years
>>68863994
id have expected that from a Seattle or Bay Area franchise, not Houston tbqh
>>68864007
Kings
>>68864019
I feel bad for him then
And jackson is next
>>68864013
LMAO @ KD IN COLLEGE
COULDNT EVEN DO ONE BENCH PRESS REP
>>68864018
Houston has been pandering to China since they got Yao. they are the most popular team in the country with the most people.
>>68864017
You must be out of your fucking mind. LeBron will slow down just like Kobe did at age 32.
>>68864031
where is KD going anyway?
RIP YUROP
>people getting this assblasted over the 43rd pick because he's from china
Who cares? Even starters don't touch the ball on Harden's team. It doesn't matter who Houston picked.
What am I missing about the Suns draft? Bender and Labissiere are bust tier and Ulis is a manlet.
>>68864044
Spain
>>68864044
To based god's home, to beg for forgiveness
>>68864041
Lebron will be 32 at the end of the year though.

the blessing will overpower the curse once and for all
>>68864074
>not the NBL
>drafting euro austin river
>>68864041
the reason kobe slowed down as drastically as he did is because he stayed injured and then had a couple of freak injjuries. Lebron has god himself within his body
>>68864018
Agreed. Would make a lot more sense in those areas, not like houston has a giant asian population. It was ok when Yao was there but now that he's been gone for like 5 years, it's time for an update
>>68864027
lots of picks to try and fail to trade because ainge is delusional
>>68864064
We just need 4 more years of Lebron
Tfw 1 decade of playing in the NBA Finals
>>68864095
>yfw the curse destroys everyones knees
>>68864064
Yes at the end of this year. Lakers in 2011 got swept by the Mavericks when Kobe was 32. I just do not believe the Cavs will have motivation to repeat. They will be complacent.
>All of a sudden /nba/ likes LeBron
What happened?
Has bill Simmons killed himself yet

The memes are dead now
>tfw all my shitposting Curry webms and Asian girl pictures are useless now

how many times did LeGod block Curry throughout the series
>>68864203
They are always better. We were lucky as fuck they choked against us 1st round. We had no right to win that series
